With friends and lovers, Taureans enjoy sharing the simple pleasures of life—good food and drink and attractive surroundings. Preferred activities often include walking or hiking, picnics, small social gatherings, dinner parties, cozy nights at home watching movies, arts and crafts, or household projects. Ideal companions and lovers for Taurus are reliable, laid back, hardworking nature lovers.
Stable and Reliable
The typical Taurus is usually loyal to friends and lovers and demands the same. Taureans have a tendency to be jealous, particularly if their partners are flirtatious. On the positive side, Taureans offer stability, reliability, and practical help to friends and lovers. With a tendency to be straightforward and genuine, a Taurus is less likely to provide nasty surprises than those of other signs. Taurus people tend to follow through with what they say they'll do, and find unreliability or inconsistency in others particularly aggravating.
Easy-going up to a Point
Taureans are pleasant company because of their placid, easy-going natures. It is important for the friends and lovers of Taurus people not to cross certain lines, however. With Taureans, a person can get away with more than most, but once they’re pushed past a certain point, they blow up, and these expressions of rage can be frightening. Taurus people are particularly likely to lose their tempers when their blood sugar is low, so they should not tackle important, sensitive issues with partners, friends, or family on an empty stomach. Overall, Taureans are usually easy to please and tend to be calm and reasonable. However, friends and lovers should be aware that Taureans are stubborn and inclined to hold grudges, and it is very difficult to change the mind of a Taurus person.
Comforting and Cozy
Taurus people like to make sure that everyone around them is comfortable. Their homes tend to be soothing oases filled with attractive objects and cozy furniture. Taureans take care of the practical needs of others, offering good food, drink, and relaxing entertainments. Friends and lovers may find the Taurean patience and calm demeanor soothing after a hectic day at work or spending time with more demanding people.
The Atypical Taurus
The sun sign isn’t the only element that influences personality. Aspects and planetary placements, particularly the moon sign and rising sign, are also important. For example, a Taurus with Sagittarius rising will likely be more interested in getting out to socialize or travel than in spending cozy evenings at home, and with Gemini rising, a Taurus will be less predictable and less likely to stick to routines. Cancer rising enhances the domestic side of Taurus, whereas Aquarius rising will make a Taurus more eccentric and less traditional.
There are many websites that offer free chart calculation to determine other planetary placements and aspects. Learning these other planetary placements is recommended, as it provides a more comprehensive personality profile.
